AR rifle platform question

bpost

I am still waiting on the AR 9MM lower to get here. I got the upper and have optics mounted bore cleaned and bolt lubed. the 9MM with cast bullets is really cheap to shoot.

Is there a 45ACP conversion for the AR platform and if not why not?

I see.
I also see the "issue", cost. Almost a grand for the upper! No thank you.

Not that 1/2 the people here will believe but 9mm gets a boost from a longer than pistol bbl while .45 really doesn't

I have an Olympic Arms .45 upper. It's accurate and runs great with reloads. With a bump-fire stock you can pretend its a modern Tommy Gun.

So why not an upper in 32 ACP ?????

a whole 150-200fps in a 16" barrel vs 5" in both calibers
